He lost in the second round to eventual runner-up Larry Arnold, 6.67/219 to 6.82/200. During the first weekend in May at New York National, he won a 16-car booked-in show with a best of 6.55/220. Butch qualified #8 at NHRA Columbus (times unavailable) and won a first-round matchup with Ron Potter, 6.84/191 to 7.24. He lost. He beat Don Schumacher in round two, 6.74/203.16 but lost in the semis to Leonard Hughes, 7.38/212 to 10.00-82.

Notes: Pomona had 58 FC's show up to qualify for the sixteen spots available for the NHRA Winternationals. Al qualified #11 on the slippery track with a 7.60/201.79. To emphasize how horrible track conditions were, Bergler ran 7.73 and 8.00/201.34 to win his first two rounds and reach the semifinals. There his ailing 9.10 lost to Kenny Bernstein's 7.46 in Ray Alley's Charger. The NHRA Gatornationals didn't go so well. Al won the best appearing car, but the Vega burned to the ground against Pat Foster in the Setzer Vega in the semifinals. Al qualified #14 with a 6.599/225.56 and beat Pete Hill's 6.84/187 in round one, with a 6.536/220.04 and Ron Colson in the "Chi-Town Hustler" in round two with a 6.570/214.79. In the semifinal race, his engine let go, and the car went up in flames. Al was OK, but the same could not be said about the car. Al eventually got it fixed, and he was at National Trail for the second NHRA Division 3 race. Unfortunately, he failed to qualify for the eight-car show. He was back at National Trail in June for the NHRA Springnationals but could not qualify once again. (We didn't see Al on the DNQ list. We need to validate). At Milan for the NHRA Division 3 race, he qualified #1. In the opening round of eliminations, his 6.76/218 beat Paul Radici's 6.88/211. He made an easy solo in the semifinal when Jackie Price's Vega broke. In the final, his 6.73/220 finished runner-up to Twig Zeigler's 6.51/225. Al was at Englishtown on July 4 for its Funny Car Spectacular event. He got out of shape in the first round, and lost to Don Schumacher. He later came back out for a consolation race against "Jungle Jim" Liberman. Bergler ran 6.58/218.97 to win their race. His next stop was at Martin, Michigan, for an eight-car show. His off-pace 7.32/77.98 in the opening round lost to Tom Hoover's 6.72/209. He was back at Englishtown later in July for the NHRA Summernationals. A 6.601/221.56 qualified #13, and in the opening round, his 6.77/210.77 beat Ed McCulloch's 6.78/207. Unfortunately, his 6.84/184.04 lost to Jim Paoli's 6.55/213 in round two. He next went to Tri-City for the fourth NHRA Division 3 race. In round one, he ran an easy 7.02 to beat Jackie Price's 7.20. But in the semifinals, he got out of shape against Paul Radici, and Al's car slid off the track. He went back to Martin, Michigan, in August for the PHR Championships but failed to qualify. Al was one of dozens of DNQs at Indy with a 6.70/218.44 best. Shortly after that (September 8), he was at Beech Bend for the NHRA Division 3 final. A 6.62 qualified #2 behind Billy Meyer's 6.54. These two would eventually meet in the final. In round one, Bergler's 6.50/205 beat Stan Bowman's 7.32/187. He then beat Paul Day in the semifinal to set up a date with Meyer in the final. Al smoked the tires hard in their final race while Billy set a great 6.35/209 to win. He qualified for the World Finals at Amarillo and won round one over Ray Motes, 6.86/194.38 to 7.09/210. He broke against Frank Hall in round two. That was Al's last NHRA national event of the year. Al also ran 6.55/215.31 at Maple Grove. |

Notes: Bergler's new Corvette debuted at Rockingham on April 30 for the IHRA Pro-Am Championships. It was an easy sixteen-car field to qualify in, as only 16 cars showed. Bergler was on the "bump." He improved to 6.79/203 in the first round to beat Bob Beaulieu. In the second round, he shut off to a 15.46 loss to Pete Williams in the "Chi-Town Hustler." Al attempted to qualify at the NHRA Springnationals, but his best of 6.440/217.39 was good for the second alternate. That was his only NHRA national event of the year. |

Notes: Al won the final NHRA Division 1 race held in New England in August. It was an eight-car show, and his 6.45 qualified #2 behind Dick Rosberg's 6.23 in the "Fighting Irish" car. These two would work their way into the final. Bergler really picked up in the opening round, where he set Low ET with a 6.22/220.58 to defeat Tim Kushi's 6.73/195. A semifinal 6.30/220.58 beat a troubled Larry Fullerton in the "Trojan Horse." Rosberg's car had broken on its semifinal race, and Bergler ran a solo 17-second run for the victory. |

Notes: Bernd was at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. The track was rough, and in the first qualifying session held on February 3, Stephen's 7.849/199.11 held the "bump" for the sixteen-car field. By the time qualifying ended, his time had been bumped out of the show to the fourth alternate slot. Stephen crashed the car at an eight-car event in March. Steve was attempting to qualify when the car went into a wheelstand. He got off the peddle, and the Charger landed hard, breaking the steering. Without control, the car went into the guardrail and exploded into flames. He got out and was OK, but the car was a total loss. This ended the Super Chief series of cars until Henry Harrison brought the name back in the late 1970s. |
